Boots shoppers ditch concealer for 'amazing' £10 anti-ageing cream that works 'miracles' on 'sagging eyes' and dark circles

Beauty buffs are ditching their concealer for a budget £10 Boots anti-ageing cream that they insist has reduced their wrinkles, as well as under-eye bags and puffiness in the face. Some of those who have tried the £10 Boots anti-ageing eye cream are going so far as to say it's the best one they've found, while others have been so impressed with the results on their skin they've ditched makeup altogether.

Olay's Ultimate Eye Cream For Dark Circles, Wrinkles & Puffiness usually costs £24.99 at Boots. However, it has been reduced down to a more purse-friendly price of £10 in Boots' one-day flash sale.

The budget £10 daily anti-ageing treatment has been specifically designed for the delicate skin around they eye area. It provides 3-in-1 benefits to visibly smoothen fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of dark circles and reduce puffiness when massaged into the skin.

The powerful colour-correcting formula has been supercharged with peptides and vitamins to blend with every skin, tone and instantly perfects its appearance whilst also renewing the skin’s surface over time.

The £10 Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream For Dark Circles, Wrinkles & Puffiness has an average rating of 4.2 stars out of 5. Beauty buffs have been impressed by how well it covers up their dark circles and reduces puffiness around the eyes, while others say they have been so pleased with the results, they've ditched their concealer altogether.

One impressed Boots shopper wrote: "I have been using this Eye Cream for over a year now. I like it because of the tint, as it helps to hide the under eye shadow so I don't really need to use a separate concealer."

A second wrote: "Love this, perfect as a base for foundation and eye shadow or to wear on its own. Gentle of the eyes, I can use it under eye and on lids right up to brow line. Soaks in quickly. Will be my go to eye cream from now on."

"I've tried so many eye creams for my puffiness that hasn't worked that I was losing faith. I have paid up to £50 for them. I use this, and wow. I finally see results. Love this product," penned a third shopper.

A fourth said: "Have been using it for years no wrinkles around my eyes." Another said: "I use this daily I am 69 and am certain this works I have no lines underneath my eyes I did have dark circles but this has improved."

"I use this daily I am 69 and am certain this works. I have no lines underneath my eyes. I did have dark circles but this has improved," raved somebody else.

"I’ve always used concealer to cover dark circles. Have been using this product morning & evening for about 2 months and the difference for me has been amazing. Visibly improved from first thing in the morning and skin is definitely brighter throughout the day. Really impressed" said another beauty buff.

"Very impressed l am 71 and you can see a definite improvement in my upper cheek and eye lines. Really nice to use as well. Would recommend highly", read another five-star review.

Another Boots customer wrote: "Lovely eye cream. I had low expectations but this is a nice colour and I noticed less wrinkles within days. Recommend. You only need small amount so it will last a while."

Some beauty lovers did comment that the results aren't instantaneous. One wrote: "Works but not instaneous on dark circles. I have very dark circles under my eyes - this has helped lighten them. My eyes are very sensitive and I wear contact lenses. I have had no trouble with this product at all as far as irritation of my eyes. Second time buying it. Well worth the money."

"My friend gave me an almost full jar of this as she said 'It doesn't agree with me' I don't really know what she meant but I thought it was quite good. It was certainly very creamy, rubbed in beautifully and left my skin feeling very much moisturised. Unfortunately it didn't do much for my wrinkles," said another.

Elsewhere, Trinny London is selling a similar BFF Tinted Eye Cream and Concealer for £28, which comes in a more diverse range of shades than Boots' Olay cream. Another alternative is the Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Eye Brightener, which is currently £19 at Boots.

15ml pots of Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream For Dark Circles, Wrinkles & Puffiness are £10 instead of £24.99 for one day only in Boots' flash £10 Tuesday sale.
